Breast Reduction – Cosmetics

Published on December 5, 2015 by Peter Klainer

Women with relatively large natural breasts may notice a change in the appearance of the breasts in the form of sagging. They may also experience frequent health issues tied to the size of their breasts. If these problems are familiar to you, you may be a candidate for breast reduction surgery.

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is performed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts.

The procedure can help alleviate back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain and can raise the profile of sagging breasts.

Typically, a breast reduction takes about two to four hours and involves incisions around the nipple-areolar complex.
